The geometries of screw systems are well-defined in some special bases such as in the principal coordinate systems. However, it is not easy to construct the principal coordinate system of a screw system from a given set of screws. Methods of finding the special bases of two- and three-systems by means of linear algebra are presented. Geometric characteristics and their difference between screw systems are discussed and illustrated in the special bases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
